Avena Sativa/Common Oat

Avena sativa, the common oat, is a cereal grain of the grass family (Poaceae), supplied by Nustras as an oat extract powder standardised to its beta-glucan content for the dietary-supplement and functional-food sectors. Oat grain is notable for its soluble fibre fraction, the mixed-linkage beta-D-glucans of the endosperm cell walls.

It is formulated into fibre supplements, capsules, tablets and powdered blends, into functional foods, cereal bars, bakery products and beverages positioned on oat or fibre content and into cosmetic and personal-care preparations where oat-derived ingredients are declared.

The material is a powder; colour and extract ratio are stated on the specification sheet. Beta-glucan content is standardised to specification and determined by the enzymatic method for mixed-linkage beta-glucan; identity is confirmed as Avena sativa by macroscopic, microscopic or chromatographic examination, and heavy-metal, pesticide-residue and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies Avena sativa (common oat) extract in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation (China) on every lot. Oat and oat beta-glucan are accepted food and supplement ingredients in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application.
